U.S. GoldMining Welcomes Increased Copper Price Momentum, Highlights Strategic Copper-Gold Potential at Whistler Project in Alaska
U.S. GoldMining (NASDAQ: USGO) highlighted the strategic potential of its Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska amid rising copper prices, which have increased 14% over the past month and 20% year-over-year. The project contains significant mineral resources including over 1 billion pounds of copper, 3.93 million ounces of gold, and 19 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category.
Located just 100 miles from Anchorage, the project benefits from proximity to existing infrastructure and planned developments, particularly the West Susitna Access Road. The company's position strengthened following the U.S. administration's recent announcement of a proposed 50% tariff on foreign copper imports, aimed at strengthening domestic mineral independence.
The Whistler Project stands out for its strategic location in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, multi-metal resource profile, and potential to benefit from supportive state and federal policies for responsible resource extraction in Alaska.
U.S. GoldMining (NASDAQ: USGO) ha evidenziato il potenziale strategico del suo progetto Whistler Gold-Copper in Alaska, in un contesto di aumento dei prezzi del rame, che sono cresciuti del 14% nell'ultimo mese e del 20% su base annua. Il progetto contiene risorse minerarie significative, tra cui oltre 1 miliardo di libbre di rame, 3,93 milioni di once d'oro e 19 milioni di once d'argento nella categoria Indicata.
Situato a soli 100 miglia da Anchorage, il progetto beneficia della vicinanza a infrastrutture esistenti e sviluppi pianificati, in particolare la West Susitna Access Road. La posizione dell'azienda si è rafforzata dopo l'annuncio recente dell'amministrazione statunitense di un proposto dazio del 50% sulle importazioni estere di rame, volto a rafforzare l'indipendenza mineraria nazionale.
Il progetto Whistler si distingue per la sua posizione strategica in una giurisdizione di primo livello, il profilo di risorse multi-metallo e il potenziale di beneficiare di politiche statali e federali favorevoli all'estrazione responsabile delle risorse in Alaska.

Insights
U.S. GoldMining benefits from rising copper prices and favorable U.S. policies while advancing its Alaska-based Whistler project with substantial resources.
This release highlights the strategic positioning of U.S. GoldMining's Whistler project amid a 14% increase in copper prices over the past month and a 20% year-over-year gain. The timing appears opportunistic as the company advances its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced last month.
Looking at the resource fundamentals, Whistler contains substantial metals inventory with 1 billion pounds of copper, 3.93 million ounces of gold, and 18.99 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category. The Inferred category adds another 317 million pounds of copper, 3.31 million ounces of gold, and 11.52 million ounces of silver. These multi-metal resources position the project as both a precious and base metals play.
The company's strategic advantage comes from three key factors: First, the proximity to infrastructure - being just 100 miles from Anchorage provides access to highways, port facilities, power grid, and skilled labor. Second, the project's location on State land within a mining-friendly jurisdiction streamlines potential permitting. Third, the recently announced 50% tariff proposal on foreign copper imports creates a potential competitive advantage for domestic producers.
The resource estimate uses relatively conservative metal price assumptions (
While this release doesn't contain new resource information (the data references a September 2024 technical report), it effectively frames existing assets in the context of changing market conditions and policy developments that could enhance project economics.
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "We believe that the existing gold-copper-silver deposits already delineated at the Project, combined with district-scale exploration potential and proximity to existing and planned future infrastructure in south-central
Over the past six months, the
The Whistler Gold–Copper Project: A
- Multi-metal resource: Whistler contains gold, copper and silver, aligning with
U.S. critical mineral priorities. - Domestic location: Whistler is the closest large undeveloped gold-copper mineral deposit to
Anchorage, Alaska 's largest city (see Figure 1), and therefore has good proximity to existing highways, port facilities, grid power, a skilled work force, and supply chain and services sector. The Project is also set to benefit from State infrastructure development, in particular the planned West Susitna Access Road. Located on State land, potential future mine permitting at Whistler should benefit from the State's robust permitting framework. - Geopolitical hedge:
U.S. domiciled projects like Whistler help reduce dependence on tariffed imports from high-risk jurisdictions. Whistler is also set to benefit from strong policy tailwinds including a supportive climate of State and Federal policies respecting responsible resource extraction inAlaska (see news releases dated January 27, 2025, and March 24, 2025).
The Project, located just 100 miles from the main population center of
